Chapter 5: Under his spell

Foxy felt hopeless as the best she could do was watch Anthony drive away, fear being the main emotion expressed on his face.

She sat down to think back on the events that transpired last night and all she could think of was that she would be lucky if Anthony would ever dare step a foot anywhere near this restaurant, and if he did, if he would ever talk to her again. All these thoughts only managed to make her feel worse with herself, but there was something odd about all of this.

As much as she wanted to remember, she didn´t quite recall when she started going crazy with wanting to kill Anthony. All she could remember was up to when she was about to tell him about the danger he was in.

"Yar! Hey there lassie!" As soon as she heard that distinguishable voice it hit her like a train.

"You bastard…" She muttered as she stood up and started walking furiously towards the source of the expression.

"I have to say. You really out-"Freddy said as Foxy delivered a surely bone-crushing punch to his face.

"Why did you do that?" Freddy said as he recuperated from the blow.

"Why? WHY!? Why did you make me do that last night? Do you make it your goal in life to make me miserable?" Foxy yelled, choking back tears.

"Woah…Calm down. You know my reasons, Foxy." Freddy added, trying to calm her down from her state of anger.

"Please refresh my memory, Freddy Assbear." She insulted to which Freddy only gave her a look of disgust over her snide comment.

"Well he´s an adult.." He started.

"Enough with that excuse! I freaking get that he´s an adult! I want good and valid reasons!" She said interrupting him, fed up with hearing the same excuse over and over again.

"Well then… I don´t want you to get too attached to only have your heart broken." Freddy stated his second reason which only confused Foxy.

"Why would I get my heart broken?" She asked the bear to clarify.

"Well you seem to be getting to friendly with him and I just don´t want you to go through that kind of depression again." Freddy said in a serious tone. It was true, last time that guard was around he left Foxy with an ugly case of depression but something told her that this time was different.

"Well how do you know? You haven´t taken the time to talk to him! You´ve only been obsessed over killing him since he got here. Maybe if you took the time to actually get to know him than maybe you´d think otherwise." Foxy stated Freddy´s incompetence to even bother getting to know Anthony.

Freddy knew Foxy spoke the truth and that he hadn´t bother to so much as say hi to Anthony, but it wasn´t the fact that he was an adult that made him dislike him. It was the mere thought that he made Foxy very happy, more than she´d ever been in the last few years and far more than he ever managed to do so.

"Fine. Have your way. Just mark my words." He said in a defeated tone as he had to leave since it was about time for him to get ready for the day.

Foxy didn´t reply as she felt offended by the bear. He´d promised her he would never use his ability to control her again since the last time she refused to kill one of the guards.

It was then that it dawned on her. Why hasn´t she wanted to kill anyone since the last guard? Why is it that all of a sudden she finds no joy or fulfilment in murdering an innocent man that hasn´t done anything? These questions only made Foxy cringe in horror since all she really knew was to kill, at least as far as she can remember.

"Now we wait…" Foxy sighed as she had no way of knowing if Anthony would return that night, even worse was that she had no way of contacting him so she could apologize and explain what had happened to her.

Meanwhile Anthony was have the worst nightmare of his life.

He found himself running for his life as she turned around only to see a horrifying animatronic fox chasing him. She let out a loud screech as she finally caught him and sunk her hook straight into his chest causing Anthony to wake up in a pool of sweat as he breathe heavily. He now knew his work was unsafe and that if he was to return he would be running a great risk. He hesitated all through the afternoon as he paced back and forth, trying to decide on whether he should call his boss.

"Mr. Hudson? I need to talk to you."

Midnight finally arrived and Foxy was vigilant on watching and waiting for the moment Anthony would show up. After about five minutes a car finally pulled into the restaurants parking lot but to Foxy´s surprise, it was not Anthony´s car and it was not him driving either. Instead some other guy in his guard uniform got out and entered the restaurant.

Foxy quickly hid so he would not spot her. It was in this moment that she realized that she had messed up for sure. Seeing some other guard instead of Anthony really upset her.

"He… He hates me…" She whispered to herself as she thought about the reason behind the new guard. She could only manage to think that she had scared him off and that he didn´t want to see her ever again, after all she did almost kill him as far as she knew.

Not content with not knowing why, she stood up and wiped away the tears flowing down her face and marched over to the security office.

"Hey Foxy! Where you going?" Bonnie asked as he was walking around the restaurant, unaware of the situation at hand.

"I´m going to ask the guard something." She said firmly, not stopping at all.

"Woah. Why so mad? I thought you knew this guy?" Bonnie asked, confused as to why she would be mad at the guard if he was supposed to be her friend.

"This is some other guy. Freddy scared off the nice one." She answered, finally halting to quickly answer Bonnie.

"What now? Why wasn´t I aware of this?" He asked as he scratched the back of his head in confusion to the situation.

"I don´t know. Look I need to get going, I´ll talk to you later." She said irritated at not being let go to seek answers.

"Okay. I´ll see you later." He said as he watched the serious fox trot of towards the office.

As she approached the office she saw the person sitting inside staring at the security cameras.

"What the hell is that bunny doing?" He muttered as he observed Bonnie mess around with one of the arcade machines.

"Excuse me, sir?" Foxy said, knocking on the wall to get the attention of the guard.

"What the-" He yelled as he was frighten by the animatronic suddenly appearing of nowhere while at the same time closing the door right in her face.

"Wait! I need to ask you something!" Foxy´s voice sounded muffled behind the door as the guard was scared out of his mind.

"What the hell is wrong with this place?!" He said as she looked back into the camera only to see the bunny from before stuffing his face with leftover pizza in the dining area.

"Nothing. I just need to know something, please." She continued.

"What? What do you want? Just leave me alone!" He shouted from inside the office, regretting taking the offer of the night shift.

"What happened to the other guard? The one that works the night shift normally?" She asked.

"I don´t know. They just called me to come and cover the night shift today. That´s all I know I swear! Please don´t hurt me." He replied, almost crying out of sheer terror.

"…Alright, thanks…." Foxy replied as she left the poor guard to continue his work.

As she got back on her stage she continued to think about what was going too happened.

"Maybe he didn´t quit. Maybe he´s just sick or something." Foxy thought to herself, trying to find any excuse that would give her the slightest of hope that he would return the next day. She decided that that would be the best excuse to appease her mind.

"He´ll be back tomorrow." She repeated in her mind as she decided to sleep to make time go by as she waited to see that friendly and familiar face again.
